The Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2010 vs Boston Whaler 350 Outrage 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Boston Whaler 350 Outrage 2018 has a 285-hp advantage over the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2010's 15-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Boston Whaler 350 Outrage 2018 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Boston Whaler 110 Tender 2010 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Boston Whaler 350 Outrage 2018 could be the deciding factor.
